I hardly recognize
myself

The toll
has been taken
on my body

The pounds
haven’t been kind
to my profile

The years
are taking their time
on my face

The thought
has settled
in my mind

The hill
I am over
To my dismay

I can unfortunately relate, Lori.

Yeah, I have tried every approach possible with mirrors and other reflective surfaces and this old (gaseous expletive here!!) keeps jumping between me and . . . well, ME!

I know for from where you come!!

We're 21 inside, Lori. Never mind that mirror, it lies.

All our 'earth-suits' inevitable fall victim to entropy and Time's fugacious whimsy; hopefully our consciousness (spirit-energy) beings do not !
